Figure S1 Nutrient absorption potential, nutrient resorption and decomposition for species associated with different mycorrhizal types. AM is arbuscular mycorrhizas, ECM is ectomycorrhizas. The violin plot represents the quartile (25%, the bottom dotted line and 75%, the top dotted line) and the middle dotted line represents the mean value. The asterisks indicate significant differences, **, P < 0.01; *, P < 0.05.
